The flavor text of all these coins are at least double as funny/interesting if you know who the persons are who threw them into the fountain.

Calia's Coin for example. She is Arthas little sister and an arranged marriage with Daval Prestor was organized. She should marry him as she was around 17 years old. But as a quite well know fact Lord Prestor is Deathwing, former Aspect of the Earth, leader of the black dragonswarm and now enemy of all life, in disguise. Luckily for her due to certain events Deathwing had to flee and so the marriage was cancelled.Her current whereabouts are unknown, but it is to be expected that she is alive.

if you READ it it says you can find the coins in dalaran.

Bosses, small pets, quest givers, all of them stopped by in Dalaran to throw a wish into the lucky fountain...

Blizzard should add a coin case so people like me who like to keep items that are historical or important to lore can keep them.

Karashk의 댓글

It is assumed by some players and lore hounds that Princess Calia is currently living in Theramore under the guise of Calia Hastings

Whether or not either she or Jaina will have any importance in any happenings before the Lich King encounter will remain to be seen, but I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

In my opinion it's not very ethic to fish up coins people have thrown in the fountain =)Well, it's only my opinion

Nobody has said where the fountain actually is... It's in The Eventide zone, in the south of Dalaran. Right near the Grand Master Fishing Trainer.

Has anyone else noticed that you can sell a copper coin (1c) for 62 copper (62c)?

Korvboll의 댓글

If you're using loot filter when fishing like me, you might want to add this to automatically delete all copper coins as soon as you get them.

#(.*)Copper Coin$

I guess you still get the achievement for fishing them up, as the add-on doesn't instant delete it, but I haven't tried that.

Anyhow, when you already have all the copper coins for the achievement I don't see why you would want to fill you bags with them, so I just auto-delete them :)

The fountain is at 52,65. You must have 430 in fishing or better to fish there.

..... I think Murky's coin should be gold... or at least silver, there isn't a more legendary char then a dancing baby murloc that sings =(

kolisee의 댓글

Maybe these coins are also related to Norway like many other things in Northrend; coins which have hole in the middle, otherwise it could be somehow hard to fish 'em up with a hook.

blupache의 댓글

Incidentally, it's perfectly safe to sell/trash these coins once you've fished them up - they still register for the achievement. Ditto the silver coins.

You could sell/trash the gold coins, but tossing them into the fountain increases your chance of fishing up more coins, so... not a good idea if you're after the achievement.

Lady Prestor is Onyxia... Daughter of Deathwing and not Deathwing himself.

He is talking about Lord Prestor, that's Deathwing's human form in The Day of the Dragon book not about Lady Prestor.

In case you are wondering, while you can mail/trade copper and silver coins, they do not count toward the achievement unless you actually fish them up.

Whiterock의 댓글

So, if a simple footman scribe some text on copper coin and drop it there, the coin will worth 62 times more!But if a king scribe the text on silver coin, the value of coin will be decreased by 38%!Also look at poor gold coins they loose 98,75% after some Arthas or Jaina scribe on it.

Danai의 댓글

The Fountain is located in the eventide district next to the fishing trainer. Yes ya do hafta have 430 fishing skill....however, with that minimum skill, you may catch one fish outta every ten. Your best bet is 350+ fishing skill, + 100 lure and the +20 (Shat quest) or +25 (horde quest in Hinterlands) fishing rod. Good Luck :)

Thaldin의 댓글

And in case it wasn't mentioned... you're not tossing the copper/silver coins into the fountain. You're able to toss the gold coins into the fountain and it gives you a 2 minute buff that increases your chance to fish up additional coins.

Not sure if anyone else was wondering about this, however before I fished up my first gold one I kept wondering why I couldn't toss the coins back in the fountain like everyone was saying.

Lady Prestor was Onyxia... she has her own coin http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43634.The coins are probably the best part of lore titbits that even interest a non-RP player like me. While some are hilarious, others are morbidly sad.

I went from lvl 305 to 423 getting this and silver in the city. Using Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole and 100+ lure. I just need 2 more gold coins to get coin master. Really simple way to lvl fishing.

Zazkia의 댓글

I ran a simulation that calculates how many casts you'd need to catch so many coins (23 coins, 0.5% drop chance each). This is the outcome:

Danath's Copper Coin- Since Danath's full name is Danath Trollbane, the coin is really fitting. His familiy and nation are well known for fighting the trolls of Lordaeron for decades. Probably that's the reason why his line is nearly extinct...

Kryll's Copper Coin- Kryll was a goblin serving Deathwing, who was trying to enslave his master using the black dragon scale in the communication crystal given to Rhonin by Deathwing. Before his plan could fall into place though, he was annihilated by the golem guarding the Demon Soul.

Salandria's Shiny Copper Coin- A Blood Elf orphan from Shattrath City, Salandria is a bodeful little girl, who, during the quest chain of Children's Week is attacked by the guards in the Caverns of Time, only to be stopped by Zaladormu, who says she will not be punished for "things she might do or fail to do in the future". She also says when she get's the Toy Dragon: "someday I plan to own a real one." She might become an important character in a future expansion.

Stalvan's Copper Coin- Stalvan Mistmantle is an undead noble with a bloodied past. He worked as a personal tutor and developed an indecent attraction to one of his students, a young woman named Tilloa (anagram for Lolita). Tilloa gave hints that she had interest in him, until one day she appeared before him with a young man, holding hands, and insulting Stalvan by comparing him to an old uncle, which infuriated Stalvan. It is unclear exactly what happened, but it was called 'a massacre' by some of the people you talk to during your quest to uncover the legend of Stalvan. It seems that he has butchered Tilloa and her family with an axe. He then returned to Manor Mistmantle in Duskwood, until the darkness crept into Duskwood and consumed him. They say he still resides there, lonely and mad, hungering for more revenge on any person who dares come near.

Vargoth's Copper Coin- Archmage Vargoth can be found troughout the world summoned by hisstaff in Kirin Var Village, Netherstorm. As for the context of the coin, it suggests that Sanders had some cargo for Vargoth when he crashed near the coasts of Westfall.

Exceeded character limit, to be continued.

Alonsus Faol's Copper Coin- Archbishop Alonsus Faol, one of the founding members of the Knights of the Silver Hand, mentor of Uther the Lightbringer and head of the Holy Order of Northshire Clerics. His tomb can be found near the Scarlet Monastery. As for the text; "The philosophy of the Holy Light boils down to the three teachings, called the Three Virtues. These virtues — respect, tenacity and compassion — are each defined into a principle and a lesson. " (from wowwiki)

Genn's Copper Coin- Genn Greymane (sometimes spelled "Graymane") was the King of Gilneas, a kingdom that removed itself from the Alliance of Lordaeron. From the coin it seems his opinion of Dalaran was very low.

Krasus' Copper Coin- One of the oldest coins in the fountain, Krasus threw it in during the Second War, when the Horde, using the Demon Soul, enslaved most of the Red Dragonflight. Krasus woved to free Alexstrasza and her brood, and so he did.

EDIT: Landro Longshot's Copper Coin - he doesn't wish he kept the coin because he's a greedy goblin. He wishes he kept the coin because on the TCG loot cards, the code is covered up by a scratch-off strip that reads "Scratch-Off Gently With Coin". =)

thanks SpooNFoy

Murky's Copper Coin- Murky is a non-combat pet available to those who attended Blizzcon 2005. As a baby murloc, and a reptile, when he gets cold he goes into torpor, which is induced hibernation. So the chilly waters are making poor Murky sleepy (As Wraithsight summarized in one of his comments).

Vareesa's Copper Coin- Currently the best translation of this is written by Delterius in the Wowhead comments "I wish for my honor. I will make peace, and the people will survive. Orcs are..."If this is true it would suggest she feels a need to make peace with the Blood Elves. (Note that the name of the coin is misspelled, as it's supposed refer to Vereesa.)

Scryus의 댓글

The zone for this achievement is listed as Dragonblight, which is incorrect. It is located in the sanctuary of Dalaran in Crystalsong Forest, Northrend, and the fountain is in the sub-zone of 'The Eventide'.

The requirement is 430 effective fishing skill to begin fishing in the fountain, and approximately 525 effective fishing to stop the 'fish', or coins, getting away.

400+ Fishing, while using Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole (+20 Alliance) or Nat Pagle's pole (+25 Horde); A +100 Lure such as Aquadynamic Fish Attractor, or Sharpened Fish Hook; and the +2 Fishing Enchant on gloves is the best bet you have of getting these coins fast.

There are also various +fishing items such as the Lucky Fishing Hat/Weather-beaten Fishing hat from the Extravaganza and Outland's daily fishing quests from Old Man Barlow which can lower the personal skill you require to fish up the coins here.

well, statistically speaking it is not going to get more difficult, if the drop rate is 0,5% per coin and doesn't decrease when you catch coins...the only thing that could, in theory, make it more difficult, would be that you have the 0,5% droprate on ANY coin, not just the ones you need, so you need to assume that you can catch any other coin instead of the one you need.

But again, according to the "laws" of statistics, your chance remains the same...

(if you have a potential or eksponential calculation instead, plz post it)

I finally decided to pick up fishing for a chance at a Stormjewel.

Walked up to the fishing training in Dalaran bought a fishing pool and started to cast. Caught my first coin ( copper ) at Fishing Skill 82. Here is hoping I get many of the coins by the time I hit 450 as I would also really like the reward for completing all of these fishing Achievements.

I try and I try, but I can`t use my fishing pole in the fountain. Where should I fish from?

OdinsSocks의 댓글

By Aldronel¾ million casts to get this achievement? No flippin way I'll ever be that bored.

It would take you over a hundred days to do 750,000 catches, saying a catch aproximately takes 12 seconds.

So yes, it takes 750 catches or 0.1 days equal 2.4 hours. But this is only statistics ^^. If you look at the odds there is a chance that you will never get this achievement along with for example and .

OdinsSocks의 댓글

Here's a thought. Wouldn't it be possible to trade the coins? No one has posted anything saying you can't, so if anyone would want to join me in the name of science, please /w me. I'll keep whatever coins I catch for the next couple of days.

Edit: It has been tested. It does not work to trade the coins for the achievement.

All interesting... but for those grinding out the achievement like I was, you can destroy the coins once you fish them up for the achievement without losing credit. This way you don't have to run around with a whole bag of coins... wasn't listed anywhere else.

I just spent a full hour casting in the Dalaran fountain, and did not get a single coin. I'm not in a raid group or a queue for a random dungeon/battleground. I have the Kaluak fishing pole equipped, with a +75 fishing lure on. I am wearing the fishing hat. I am confused!

SpectralDaisy의 댓글

I don't know about other people, but I have caught the Krasus coin a "gazillion" times more than any other duplicate. I totally love this character, but at the same time, when I'm not done with any of the three coin achievements, I'm a little sick of fishing his wish up repeatedly :-)

I don't know what the exact math would be, but if all copper coins have the same chance to be fished up, to have fished up one particular coin 10x as many as any other and still not have fished up one of each does not seem like there is equally weighted random generation of numbers on all coins of the same type.

Maybe I'm just going nuts because I hit 450 and still haven't finished any of the three coin achievements. ;-D

P.S. I wake up this morning and finally got Copper & Silver within ten minutes of each other, but Chromie & Teron are still eluding me on gold .... and I'm still catching multiple Krasus ... I'm just going to choose to interpret it that he loves me as much as I love him, lol ;-b

RageTreb의 댓글

PLEASE NOTE: Throwing a gold coin into the Dalaran fountain will increase your chances of fishing up further coins for a short time. Do not make the same mistake I did and assume throwing them in is just a silly thing you can do for fun like throwing a paper zeppelin at another player. Blizzard should have really said more than "Use: Throw back into Dalaran fountain" on the gold coins. For someone like me who wanted to save the coins, it seemingly gives us no incentive to get rid of them

If you're curious, it can take upwards of 5 hours to fish up all the coins you need if you don't use the gold coin buff. Yes, I speak from experience. There should really be an achievement for not using any gold coins to get all the coins. >_>

If anyone reading this could upvote this comment that would be great. Don't let others suffer the way I did!

Of all these copper coins, I found that Kryll's and Murky's were among the rarest (I only fished these up once, as opposed to all the other coins), so if you're hoping for the achieve, prepare yourself for a long wait...

idahocaligirl의 댓글

As someone else mentioned, throwing gold coins back in offers the advantage of a 2 minute buff that increases your odds of fishing coins from the fountain. What I didn't see mentioned is the buff does not stack, so throwing 2 coins in will not give you 4 minutes. Best bet is to throw one gold coin in at a time, wait for the buff to end, and throw the next. I've had a constant buff for the last hour doing this, with gold coins still left in my bags.

Maybe an obvious tip, but since I was unsure enough to need to test 2 coins at once, I'm sure someone will benefit from this.

If you want to get all the different copper, silver and golden coins from the fountain: be prepared. It's gonna take a lot of your time. The best way to do this is just when you're normally waiting for a dungeon or raid, then you at least have something to do!

Hi friends.

I just wished to remind everyone that this ACHIEVEMENT is filed under:

Achievements window ("Y" key)

Professions (left side of the window)

Fishing (under "Professions", may need single-clicking of "Professions" to see it)

This Individual achievement is toward the end of the list, about 25 out of 32, and is filed right next to the silver and gold coin fishing achievements.

I had a real tough time finding it, and thought I would pass this on.

Im on patch 5.4 and fishing that fountain is a pain in the butt. If you go to the underbelly and fish you can fish up copper and silver there also, and you can work on 왕쥐를 잡아라! that acheivement at the same time or fish in the violet hold area while searching for 녹슨 감옥 열쇠 Idk why no one has mentioned this before. I think the description of this acheivment should have the word fountain changed to waters since it seems you can fish the coins from any of Dalaran's waters.

So when i first started this achievement, at lvl 105, I thought it meant Broken Isles Dalaran. Lol nope. Northrend Dalaran. Plus side: Dalaran, Broken Isles, you can fish out 1g and 5g coins that you can sell off:)
